...boost demand, the makers of little cigars, which are still allowed to be advertised on the home screen, expanded their promotions in print and television. Cigars like Lorillard's Omega, U.S. Tobacco's Tall N' Slim and American Brands' Antonio y Cleopatra became increasingly popular. Sales of little cigars reached 878 million in the last fiscal year, and in recent months have been running about 46% ahead of that level. One reason is that last September R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., the nation's largest cigarette maker, brought out a new brand called Winchester. Ever since...
...share of the Florida vote. In reply to one query, the sampling of Democratic voters named Muskie as their leading second choice for the nomination. In another response tally he emerged as the only Democrat who, if the election were held today, would defeat Nixon, albeit by a very slim margin. In sum, if Muskie interprets the lesson of Florida correctly, he might yet salvage his campaign...
...single Democratic candidate would get a majority of the votes in the presidential election. According to the views of those interviewed, Nixon would win easily against Wallace, Jackson, Lindsay or McGovern. Against Humphrey, Nixon shows a slight edge (48% to 47%, 5% undecided).

"A regular newspaper hero, the baseball-player type." What she found was "a tall, slim boy in evening dress -so much more poised than I expected." Lindbergh, she wrote, "is taller than anyone else-you see his head in a moving crowd and you notice his glance, where it turns, as though it were keener, clearer, brighter than anyone else's, lit with...
Brandt would undoubtedly fight the ensuing national election campaign on the issue of Ostpolitik. Since polls show a slim majority of West Germans in favor of the treaties, the Chancellor could be returned with an enlarged majority, and push the treaties through. But West Germans are also deeply worried about rising prices and unemployment, and Barzel could win on the issue of economic policy alone. That would leave the Christian Democratic leader in the awkward position of trying to put together his own version of Ostpolitik in the face of open anger on the part of the Soviet Union...
